CompUSA & Best Buy have ETA's of 11/01 to about 11/15, which is why I asked if anyone had heard of any confirmation of the rumors that the game was delayed by 30-45 days.

from what I have heard on various other hl2 forums. According to Gabe Newell and the marketing guy(Lombardi i think it is). The release date is unchanged. According to Valve they never said it was changed however Vivendi said that it had slipped.


just some confusion it seems. I guess we will just have to wait for the final word from Valve. Hopefully it will be going gold here soon.

Do a google on Driver Cleaner. After removing the device in Control Panel, and all related apps, restart, Cancel when Windows finds new device, run Driver Cleaner, restart and load new drivers when Windows finds the device again.

Thanks for the tips guys. I ended up uninstalling the last Omegas and then cleaning out the most obvious entrys. I installed the new Omegas and they work like a charm. Fixed a texture problem I was having with the Rally Sport demo. Alas the Star Trek Elite Forces 2 demo still crashes after 4 minutes of play, although the demo states that one should ignore any problems in the demo as the final version should be pretty much bug free. I might try downloading the driver cleaner program and reinstalling the new Omegas.

Gee, I just install the new cats over the old ones - I don't seem to have any problems.

When I changed to 9800 Pro from a Ti4400 I formatted, though.

The "Driver Cleaner" that mikead_99 is referring to can be found at Driver Heaven. I use it myself when I don't feel like doing a complete reformat, and it gets the job done. It even goes through your Drivers.cab file and cleans it up as well. Great tool

This sounds like just what I've been looking for. I always just remove the old drivers and clean the registry but man that's tedious.
BTW, I just upgraded from 3.0's() to 3.6's made a noticeable improvement. Thanks for the link.
